Christmas in July New Release

Today. Cheery Lynn Designs is releasing 8 new holiday dies for your enjoyment. I have made a couple projects using some of them. My first project is a festive box to hold my Christmas cards.

This box is quite large, measuring 9 inches wide, 6.5 inches tall and 4.25 inches deep. I created the scalloped panels with next to the largest Scalloped Rectangle Mega Doily Reflections die. I created the inside box using chipboard as I wanted this to be quite sturdy.

To decorate the front, I added the new Fireplace Stockings frame, it measures 4.25 x 5.5 inches. I paper pieced all the individual parts adding fluff to the tops of the stocking but it looks quite stunning just as a die cut. I added 2 holly leaves in the upper corner from the new Holly Leaves strip die. This is a fabulous die; you get 3 pairs of leaves in graduated sizes. This is the medium size. Also new is the Merry Christmas sentiment set. There are 2 dies in this set; I have used the larger of the two for my box.

One each end, I have added the new Lace Christmas Tree die. It comes with an angel wing but I chose not to use it. The star is part of the die; look at the lovely lace detailing. No one does it better!

For the other side of my box, I have added the new Merry Christmas Card frame, backing it with gold metallic paper. This also measure 4.25 x 5.5 inches. I used the new Build a Flower 1 dies to create my flower; adding the largest Holly Leaves to the flower and the smallest to the bottom corner.

This was a fun project to make and quite simple with Cheery Lynn Designs dies. My second project is a tag.
